Evening pumps 1890

"Evening Pumps" is a pair of women's shoes from 1890, likely worn for evening events, by an unknown artist. The shoes are made of a beige fabric and feature a pointed toe and a high heel. The shoe is embellished with a large golden circular buckle with a smaller fabric rosette inside. The shoes, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, offer a glimpse into fashion during the late 19th century. They are a testament to the craftsmanship and artistry of footwear design during this period.
